Patients of both genders under age 18 who are seen in the Endocrine Wellness clinic or who are already participating in other Institutional Review Board-approved research projects of the principal investigator are eligible. Boys and Girls: Through age 17
With consent, researchers will collect past, current and future medical record information related to participants’ medical conditions associated with childhood obesity for inclusion in the database. Visits: None beyond normal clinical care Duration: Ongoing
